39 * This file contains functions to resolve DNS queries and
40 * validate the answers. Synchonously and asynchronously.
42 * Several ways to use this interface from an application wishing
43 * to perform (validated) DNS lookups.
46 * ctx = ub_ctx_create();
47 * err = ub_ctx_add_ta(ctx, "...");
48 * err = ub_ctx_add_ta(ctx, "...");
50 * ... call ub_ctx_delete(ctx); when you want to stop.
52 * Application not threaded. Blocking.
53 * int err = ub_resolve(ctx, "www.example.com", ...
54 * if(err) fprintf(stderr, "lookup error: %s\n", ub_strerror(err));
57 * Application not threaded. Non-blocking ('asynchronous').
58 * err = ub_resolve_async(ctx, "www.example.com", ... my_callback);
59 * ... application resumes processing ...
60 * ... and when either ub_poll(ctx) is true
61 * ... or when the file descriptor ub_fd(ctx) is readable,
62 * ... or whenever, the app calls ...
64 * ... if no result is ready, the app resumes processing above,
65 * ... or process() calls my_callback() with results.
67 * ... if the application has nothing more to do, wait for answer
70 * Application threaded. Blocking.
71 * Blocking, same as above. The current thread does the work.
72 * Multiple threads can use the *same context*, each does work and uses
73 * shared cache data from the context.
75 * Application threaded. Non-blocking ('asynchronous').
76 * ... setup threaded-asynchronous config option
77 * err = ub_ctx_async(ctx, 1);
78 * ... same as async for non-threaded
79 * ... the callbacks are called in the thread that calls process(ctx)
81 * Openssl needs to have locking in place, and the application must set
82 * it up, because a mere library cannot do this, use the calls
83 * CRYPTO_set_id_callback and CRYPTO_set_locking_callback.
85 * If no threading is compiled in, the above async example uses fork(2) to
86 * create a process to perform the work. The forked process exits when the
87 * calling process exits, or ctx_delete() is called.
88 * Otherwise, for asynchronous with threading, a worker thread is created.
90 * The blocking calls use shared ctx-cache when threaded. Thus
91 * ub_resolve() and ub_resolve_async() && ub_wait() are
92 * not the same. The first makes the current thread do the work, setting
93 * up buffers, etc, to perform the work (but using shared cache data).
94 * The second calls another worker thread (or process) to perform the work.
95 * And no buffers need to be set up, but a context-switch happens.

110 * The validation context is created to hold the resolver status,
111 * validation keys and a small cache (containing messages, rrsets,
112 * roundtrip times, trusted keys, lameness information).
114 * Its contents are internally defined.
119 * The validation and resolution results.
120 * Allocated by the resolver, and need to be freed by the application

132 * a list of network order DNS rdata items, terminated with a
133 * NULL pointer, so that data[0] is the first result entry,
134 * data[1] the second, and the last entry is NULL.
135 * If there was no data, data[0] is NULL.
139 /** the length in bytes of the data items, len[i] for data[i] */
143 * canonical name for the result (the final cname).
144 * zero terminated string.
145 * May be NULL if no canonical name exists.
150 * DNS RCODE for the result. May contain additional error code if
151 * there was no data due to an error. 0 (NOERROR) if okay.
156 * The DNS answer packet. Network formatted. Can contain DNSSEC types.
159 /** length of the answer packet in octets. */
163 * If there is any data, this is true.
164 * If false, there was no data (nxdomain may be true, rcode can be set).
169 * If there was no data, and the domain did not exist, this is true.
170 * If it is false, and there was no data, then the domain name
171 * is purported to exist, but the requested data type is not available.
176 * True, if the result is validated securely.
177 * False, if validation failed or domain queried has no security info.
179 * It is possible to get a result with no data (havedata is false),
180 * and secure is true. This means that the non-existance of the data
181 * was cryptographically proven (with signatures).
186 * If the result was not secure (secure==0), and this result is due
187 * to a security failure, bogus is true.
188 * This means the data has been actively tampered with, signatures
189 * failed, expected signatures were not present, timestamps on
190 * signatures were out of date and so on.
192 * If !secure and !bogus, this can happen if the data is not secure
193 * because security is disabled for that domain name.
194 * This means the data is from a domain where data is not signed.
199 * If the result is bogus this contains a string (zero terminated)
200 * that describes the failure. There may be other errors as well
201 * as the one described, the description may not be perfectly accurate.
202 * Is NULL if the result is not bogus.
207 * TTL for the result, in seconds. If the security is bogus, then
208 * you also cannot trust this value.
214 * Callback for results of async queries.
215 * The readable function definition looks like:
216 * void my_callback(void* my_arg, int err, struct ub_result* result);
218 * void* my_arg: your pointer to a (struct of) data of your choice,
220 * int err: if 0 all is OK, otherwise an error occured and no results
222 * struct result: pointer to more detailed result structure.
223 * This structure is allocated on the heap and needs to be
